I didn’t like the movie. The violence wasn’t exhilarating like Tarantino’s Kill Bill or Pulp Fiction, (movies I loved). It was just misplaced and uncalled for. I expected to see action and humor along the lines of Hellboy, Xmen or Wolverine, and was disappointed. My fault: Didn’t check the rating. But I know a good violent, dark movie when I see one, (dawn of the dead e.g.) and Kick Ass just isn’t one. It falls flat.

How can anyone like Tarantino movies and not like this one? Valeri please stop being an idiot. And Jim- Go see the movie you won’t regret it! I didn’t want to see it because yes, the trailer looked stupid to me and yes- I don’t care too much for the kid from Superbad myself. I saw it from word of mouth and I can honestly say it’s in my top ten favorite movie list!! INCREDIBLE!!!! ( I think this kind of action is what people expected from Watchmen…)

Great, great movie. Not for everyone, though. If you are not into the superhero genre, you might not appreciate all the references and moral cunundrums that are present. I can see why Valeri did not like it. However, I can see why many other people did. Great music, great acting, great characters and character development. I, too, had to watch it again and that hasn’t happened in a long time(just like Sheikh commented). When the action occurs, it’s spot on. When the jokes come at you, they hit the mark. When the pathos shows itself, you indeed feel it. I, too, hope they make a sequel. Haven’t seen such original movie making (and attention to such detail!) and great ‘not-the-same-old-remake-crap’ that’s been coming out of hollywood in a long time. Great film. Go see.

Jim is a stupid doofus. He hasn’t even watched it.
I feel sorry for Valeri. She can’t see any meaning in it. Very low IQ especially for being sorry she might offend someone.

The thing many people commenting here are missing is that the movie is not really a comedy. Black comedy is not simply comedy. You can feel sad in parts, or shocked, or maybe laugh. It’s not meant to be scoffed at when Big Daddy is burning to Death, or when Kick ass says he would rather die than let 3 assholes beat up 1 guy… and they want to know what is wrong with him when everyone else is watching and doing nothing.

This is the best movie I have seen in a while.

That is the most stupid movie ive ever watched. There is no sense in, with this stupid scenes of meaningless killin and boring action. Everything in that movie looks so stupid and lame, that i couldnt watched to the end, i stoped the movie and throwed it to the trash… Sorry if im offending someone, but its my personal view about it. About the Tarantino movies, they are far far away better and unattainable, its another space…

This is by far the best review and comment board I’ve read on Kick-Ass.

I just finished watching this movie and I… want to see it again. That’s happened only once, or twice in my life. After laughing my guts out and cheering for the ‘real’ kickass heroes, the length of the movie, I feel exhilarated and totally spent. What an experience.

Can’t say enough good things about the character that stole the show. Of course, Hit Girl. Chloe Moretz is absolutely adorable and if she stays away from trouble (read: Lindsay, Hilton, Spears & Co.) they will be talking about her into the next century.

This movie is fantastic! They better make a sequel with the same director and cast. Everything fit together so perfectly, the actors, the soundtrack, the violence and the director made it beautiful. This will be a cult-type movie by the end of the year, once everyone who saw it makes everyone else see it. I will buy this the day it comes out on DVD! Everyone else should too. Show them we need the sequel and it will be a hit!

Just saw the movie recently and was blown away with how good it was, I didn’t read any reviews prior but stumbled across this piece afterwards and I totally agree with everything that’s been said here spot on. 😀

Only thing I like to add, for some reason I wasn’t too keen on Nicholas Cage for his role, don’t know why he just doesn’t fit but other then that great movie.

Just when I thought there was no originality left in Hollywood, something a little daring comes along. Yet at the same time it still manages to give us all the titular kick-ass popcorn action we love so much. It’s such fun you’ll even forgive, nay applaud, the rampant cliches! It’s pretty much a cross between “Mystery Men” and “Equilibrium”, so if you liked either, you’ll love “Kick-Ass”. v(^^)o

Can’t remember laughing so hard in years… literally. Hit Girl was absolutely amazing and completely absurd and endearing, and of course sad. I did not want to ever hate McLovin, but you can’t have everything. Super fun movie, but DO NOT BRING CHILDREN to this film under any circumstances. There is no way for a child to process this story. Lines are crossed back and forth so often that you really have to commit to laughing at it and with it rather than getting caught up in some of the more tragic and serious elements. Deserves the R rating and it should be respected.

As somebody that walked out of the theater during Hancock, I went into the movie not expecting much, but because of the rated R rating I figured it could be a cool movie. Then it turned out exceed my best expectations. Your review was pretty much how I saw it. The only thing is I’m glad I did not read your review before I saw the movie. As I knew nothing going in. When Hit Girl gets shot by the dad I knew I would like this movie. I hope people go see it because I want good movies like this to be made in the future.

I don’t think Jim actually saw the movie.. he was judging it based on commercials and trailers..

that in itself is pretty stupid.. go jim!

Wow, this is one of the best reviews I’ve read about this movie. Spot-on agree with everything. The movie rocked my world as I know it and I’m never the same. Great job.

Jim, this movie is more entertaining than anything Tarantino has ever shat out.

Here is a comedy that is a better action movie than most action movies these days, pure popcorn fun from start to finish.

If you're into Morricone, you should check out my Spaghetti Western Concept Rap album, called "Showdown at the BK Corral." It's basically a Spaghetti Western over 9 tracks - very influenced by Morricone. I'd love to hear what you think of it! You can download it for free at sunsetparkriders.com

Jim, you’re a goddamn moron.

This movie fucking kicked ass! Hit-Girl was by far the greatest thing about it.

By: Jim

Jim — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:26:54 +0000

This move looks really lame.. if I want kick ass I’ll turn on Tarantino movie.. or even a western, shit anything looks better than this. I really hate that kid from Superbad.. also,
CAPS LOCK AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We saw, appreciated and assessed the same movie though the same eyes, emotions and reflections. Great job.
